National LGBT survey – please complete

[Posted 14/10/2017]

Please see the following link to the Government National LGBT survey. This survey/consultation closes on Sunday 15th October at 11.45pm. We would encourage member unions to ask their LGBT members to take part in the survey in order to ensure their voices are heard.

P.S. sorry for the short notice I didn't realise that there was such a shory deadline for completion.

PCS Northern Region Trans-Day of Remembrance 2017

[Posted 10/10/2017]

Every year, across the world, on November the 20th there are commemorations in honour of trans people who have been murdered or attacked – giving recognition and respect to a section of our community who are habitually overlooked, or purposely ignored. Reliable studies show that the trans suicide rate is way above the national average.

PCS Northern Region LGBT Network

For those who don’t know me, I’m Eddy Nixon and I am the new Chair of the PCS Northern Region LGBT Network.

So who are we and what do we do? Well, we are a group of PCS members across the region who identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual or Transgender, or are advocates.

The great thing about it is that you do not have to be a TU Rep to be a member of the Network. You just need to have an interest in the issues relevant to LGBT members. So that’s who we are, what do we do?
